Legendary Pokemon

Legendary Pokemon are special, one of a kind Pokemon that can be found in game. Most of the time you'll hear the characters in the game telling stories about these Pokemon. The stories and the rarity is what makes them Legendary.

These Pokemon are usually very strong and extremely hard to catch. If you have trouble catching a Legendary Pokemon, view the tips below.

Most Legendary Pokemon are stationary on the map. You can walk up to them and interact with them to initiate the battle. Before doing so, SAVE YOUR GAME. If you really want to catch a Legendary Pokemon, you should save your game before attempting it. You may accidentally make the Pokemon faint or you may get knocked out by going easy on the guy. You might even run out of Pokeballs.

There are many Poke Balls out there that can help you catch a Legendary Pokemon. Ultra Balls may be an obvious choice, but those things still may make it hard on you. If the battle is going on for some time, which it probably will, you can always use a Timer Ball to help out. If it's night, or you're in a cave, using a Dusk Ball will increase your chances a ton.

The Attack False Swipe is a valuable move which will reduce a Pokemon's HP to 1 if it would have otherwise caused a Pokemon to faint. If you use it again, it will cause the Pokemon to faint. False Swipe can be taught to a Pokemon from TM54, found at Reversal Mountain.

The Pokemon's HP is at 1 and it still won't be captured?! Inflict a Status Effect on it. The most valuable Status Effects are Sleep and Paralysis. Place one of these on the beast with 1 HP and you may have a shot at catching it.

Kyurem is the main Legendary Pokemon of Black 2 and White 2. It can be captured and used as regular Kyurem, or it can be merged with Zekrom or Reshiram to make Black Kyurem or White Kyurem.

To get Kyurem you must first catch Zekrom or Reshiram from Dragonspiral Tower. See more about that below. After capturing one of them, go to the North-most cave in Giant Chasm to find Kyurem. After catching Kyurem, you will find a special item that allows you to merge Kyurem with Zekrom or Reshiram.

Zekrom and Reshiram were originally the main legends of Pokemon Black and White, but in Black 2 and White 2, they are more like secondary legends to be merged with Kyurem. The story goes, Zekrom and Reshiram were once one Legendary Dragon Pokemon owned by twin trainers. The twin trainers didn't see eye to eye, so the Pokemon split into two, which became Zekrom and Reshiram.

Zekrom and Reshiram can only be found in one version of these Pokemon games. Zekrom is found in Black 2, and Reshiram is found in White 2. In both games, N owns this Legendary Pokemon. After defeating the Pokemon League, visit N's Castle to find and battle N. He will turn either Reshiram or Zekrom into the Dark Stone or Light Stone and give it to you. Take this stone to the top of Dragonspiral Tower to capture it.

The three flying Legendary Pokemon of Black and White are not directly found in Black 2 and White 2, but they can be transferred. The three flying legends: Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus can be found and captured in the Pokemon Dream Radar app for the Nintendo 3DS. There, they will have their new forms and be at Level 40. After capturing them in their new Forms from PDR, transfer them to Pokemon Black 2 or White 2 via Unova Link.

Along with these Legendary Pokemon from Pokemon Black and White, other Legendary Pokemon from past generations of Pokemon can be found and caught in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. Some of them require prerequisites before being found.

The Legendary Pokemon Regirock can be found deep within Clay Tunnel inside the Mysterious Door. Normally, this mysterious door will have nothing but rocks and ruins. However, if you take six steps down and nine steps right from the circle at the entrance of the door, you can find a hidden switch in the dirt. Press the switch to bring Regirock into the ruins.

After capturing Regirock, you'll obtain a Key that alters the ruins in Clay Tunnel for another Regi Pokemon. The next regi depends on which version you're playing. If it's Black 2, you'll find Registeel. If it's White 2, you'll find Regice.

Exit out of the ruins and save your game. Return to the main menu of your game (Hold L + R + START = SELECT). Go to Unova Link > Key System > Key Settings. The last setting is the Mysterious Door. Change to the newly unlocked room to alter the ruins for the new Regi. Start the game back up and flip the switch which changed the ruins before. Inside will be Registeel.
